Our topic for last week was - if a genie appeared, what would you wish for? We are late this time around because of me. I was not ready last week.

1. Duh. More wishes. Then...

2. No more cancer.

3. The ability to provide infinite opportunities for my children.

4. I would probably wish for some large sum of money to pay everything off, but I would keep working. I am not programmed to stay home all day.

5. 50 - 60 degree weather every Saturday morning for long runs.

6. More wishes to have on reserve.

Okay, so honestly when we drew this topic I thought this was going to be amazing. But, when it came down to actually writing about it, I think this has been my least favorite, I'm sorry folks. Also when I think of the topic all I can really think of is "I'm a genie in a bottle, baby, come, come, come on and let me out" and "ten thousand years will give you such a crick in the neck".

These are the things I learned on my trip to Hollywood, Florida. They are in no particular order; just things that come to my mind.

1. Residents of Hollywood, Florida are rude. Please be advised that your town runs on the money of the tourists; as such, get over yourselves.

2. I loved walking and running on the Broadwalk (even though I kept calling it the Boardwalk; it goes much better with the song). You walk everywhere there and I loved that. I hit 10,000 steps by like 1:00 p.m. every day. Amazing.

This is not what I am used to!

3. I could live in a small beach town and be happy (in a house that is a normal size). That is probably what I will do when I win the lottery. Note to self - start playing the lottery.

4. There was a mermaid waiting on me. They are real, so don't even start with me.

5. When something hard touches my foot in the ocean - I freak out. So does my preteen. We are entertaining to watch.

6. I survived the plane rides. I survived planes taking off five times. I survived planes landing five times.My children survived as well. Neither one of them had been on a plane before, they were both amazing for all the plane rides. The first time we took off D yelled wwwwwhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyy??????? Which was hilarious.

7. My family can get along in a very small room with one bathroom for five days. The kids didn't even really fight that much. I was impressed; wait, let me specify - not impressed with the hotel; but my family's ability to accommodate the hotel's shortcomings.

8. After I recover from this trip, I will consider another one :)

Ready to go!

She is always dancing, even at the beach.

I so wanted that sign for her bedroom door.

My first panorama photo!

All the crazies at Margaritaville.

The day we left was cold!

His shirt says "I'd flex but I like this shirt". Quite the gem we found for D.

I think that is all I have for now. We are back in Oklahoma and school started back today. So I guess I am adulting again. Lame. Now to get started on all of those goals I made... -Amy D.
